What is the Linn County Correctional Chaplaincy Ministry?
A Ministry
It is a Christian organization offering spiritual guidance to all people and faith groups.
A Partnership
It is supported in a partnership with St. Like’s Hospital in Cedar Rapids, area churches, businesses, foundations, service organizations, individuals and Linn County. A Board with Members from a broad representation of the community gives guidance and supervision to this ministry.
A Team Effort
Two chaplains uniquely gifted for corrections ministry, a volunteer coordinator and dozens of volunteers work together with corrections officials and administrators to provide this important service.
A Comprehensive Effort
The chaplains offer personal, private and confidential counseling for individuals incarcerated in the Linn County Correctional Center (County Jail) and the Linn County Juvenile Detention Center. They also provide support and counseling to the staff of the Linn County Corrections systems.
This ecumenical program is focused on the needs of the individual. Weekly worship services are also provided at the Correctional Center and at the Juvenile Detention Center.
